TRex 800 Pro vs. Logo 800 vs. ???

[3DAP]

4 to 5 minutes around 2000 RPM doing 3D.. and you can get more if you lower the RPM or even use one 6S battery. If you still want longer times you can fit 6000mAh batteries in this -- the battery compartment is taller.
Even Ben Storick at our heli-rodeo was getting about 4 minutes going crazy with it.

Ben is so impressive. And so are the flight times for a 12s 800

Maybe an argument that could be considered as well:
I was deciding between the Logo 800 and the new 800 PRO DFC myself during the last days. I have gotten the latter one although I’m a big fan of Mikados Helis recently and availability and service here in Germany is just great.
My preference for the Rex finally came with one insight: I typically only fly my Helis for a year. (Not because I crash them… I just want to try out new stuff occasionally)
Hence I often spend a lot of money on new Lipos which I barely use to their full potential. From my records I would often give away batteries with as little as 30 or 40 cycles because I typically buy 4-5 flight sets, have different series and only manage to get in around 300 flights a year (give or take).
My thinking was this: If I should actually buy the Logo 800 and then decide to trade it in a year later after only a handful of flights I would be kinda stuck with battery packs (7S) that are relatively uncommon in the model-clubs around where I live.
Yet I guess the Trex 800 will do just fine with (two) 6S-5000 packs and this is a relatively wide spread “industry standard” on the fields around here. I know… it’s a luxury problem. But it is a factor I took it into consideration.

Oh and by the way: Hello to all Heli-Freaks.
Pleasure to meet you guys…

Hi BrainDrain_dx,

Thanks in advance

I use a Pulse 2s 2550 mAh Rx pack for the TRex 700 and the TRex 800 and the Goblin 770 and always works great.
